Amazon is reportedly reconsidering plans to build its new headquarters in New York City. The Washington Post spoke with two people who are "familiar with the company's thinking" who said that top executives met to reassess their decision following backlash from local residents and politicians.

“The question is whether it’s worth it if the politicians in New York don’t want the project, especially with how people in Virginia and Nashville have been so welcoming,” said one of the sources, who only agreed to speak on the condition of anonymity.
